Livorno goalkeeper Marco Amelia has dismissed reports linking
him with a move to Premiership champions Chelsea, insisting he
wants to stay where he is.
The Italy international has been mooted as a replacement for
injured custodian Petr Cech, who suffered a serious skull fracture
earlier this month.
The 24-year-old, who is considered one of the finest young
goalkeepers in Italy and the heir to Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon,
has been a target of top clubs this summer, including AC Milan,
Barcelona and Roma.
'My thoughts are with Cech. In any case, the last decision is taken
by our president (Aldo) Spinelli and I believe we will reach an
agreement to extend my contract. My aim is to continue to play in
Italy.'
